[/ QUOTE ]

This game can be downright nasty.

This happened to me a few months ago and I started playing other games (which I ran crappy at as well fwiw).

You just have to play through it, even though sometimes that can be quite a long time, like several months.

But one day you'll explode and be on fire like you were before. And then you'll be convinced that the bad streak was just a fluke and you are the best player in the game. You'll start making plans to move up and take on the bigger games.

And then another bad streak will inevitably come.

Hope this helps. [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
